This op sue a wide field for a new qurrrtl, and we feel much like vasflurlag to say "the end is not yet eel apart for white ohildren, and declares iheeame tobeoonoluiiveproofthatthe Union party Is la favor of intermixing wblto and oolorcd oblldron In the same icboole I Tried by all hitherto recognised laws of evidence tht above deolilon would teem to show that the Union party la no. in favor of euoh In termixing, but, on the contrary, Is eealous In guarding lmmaoulate while youtn from tho contamination of sitting in the sat eohool-room with ohildren having even 'peretptibU admittuii' of African blood ! Dut there le one other foot which the new logio of the Slattman ougffl not to have overlooked. Tho section of "our present efficient school law," whioh provldee forsepar- tao sohools for oolored children, was enacted by the la I General Assembly, In whioh the so-called Do moo racy had scarcely a oorpor- el's guard. The very provisions whioh the Stataman regards, the perfection of Demo cratic legislation, received tho vole of every Union member.

II. Barney, who once held be office for' a single term, and who, as Commissioner, published numerous "decisions" and "opinions" upon the echool law. One of tht questions decided by the said Commlseioner Barney, was tho identioal one eubsc quently decided by the Supreme Court, vis : " Are ohildren of less than half African blood entitled, as a matter of legal igbl, lo tho privilege of attending ibe oom- mon schools of the Stato." In giving ail opinion, Mr. Barney says: "To answer the bove queslion, Il ie ncoessary to ascertain lb jucUoitvl oonfiii'uottoii of (be lerm 'whit,' as used in lie Constitution of the Stale.'' He then oltee four esses, and gives an affir maUve aitsver to the quntion. School Laws, p. 101, q. 78. Judges Brlnkerhoof and Bull iff in Ibeir dissent, out of whioh the Statmtan tries lo make taollal, took precisely the same ground as Mr. Barney, drawing the same oo Delusion from the same premises. Here It a fine chance for the Stataman to akt another "therefore," and cry aloud the people, " If you are in favor of throw ng open our puolio schools alike to the re ception of oolored and white children, vote for Mr. Barney and Ihe candidates on the same ticket with him." But Mr. Beroey mads other decisions ' to whioh wt wish to oall tht Siatumaht at tention. In a oerlain sub-die l riot of the Stale in hioh seven oolored ohildren were enumera ted, the negrophobio local directors refused to admit said children to the sohool, and, not oontent with this, wished to take the money sacredly set spart by lbs school law for their Instruction, and use it for the duoation of Iht wtut )outh of tht lub-die- trlct. Mr. Barney was appealed to. He deoldcd that Iht oolored ohildren oould not he deprived of the benefits of Ihe school poor colored vouth" to the common sohool ie necessary to scours him that 1 fret education," he may be admitted. In tht face of snth facte as those, tht degenerate Democratic party of to-day Is trying lo exclude tht oolored children of tho State from all tho advantagee of a free ed ucation. Colored ohildren arc not only driven from tht oommon sohools where, in some Instance, they have attended for years, but tht small portion of the school funds set apart by tht sohool law to secure for (hem a -moiety of private instruction, in oast publlo instruction Is denied, Is sleied upon and oppropriattd la tht tducation owhiU children, in deflanot of law and oommon humanity. Wt know whereof we affirm. There art school d is trio Is, not forty miles from the capital of tho State, where Copperhead malignity has snatched even tht crumbs of a free education from " poor oolored youth." So far at we are oonoerned, we are In favor of separate sohools for oolored ohil dren, but when they are not in sufficient number, to form a separate school, we are not in favor of excluding them from com- mot sohool instruction and the advantages of a free education. When the Stataman has tried Us new logio upon the legislation of the last Gener al Assembly and Mr. Barney's record, we may give It further evidence that wt know what wt art writing about.

Wllh this view, we propose to pause for a seasoo, and take relrospeolive glanoe. And we propose to our demooratio acquaintance of Ohio those them who are capable of laying aside the weight of party prejudice and party biat-r-to aooompany us in a hasty review of the past,and take a reckoning for Ihe course proper lo be pursued lu the future. Our Demooratio friends cannot but re member that tn the year 1B60, their parly was rent In twain, and its members sadly demoralised. Tht corrupt and debauched administration of the Imbecile Buobanau ! was drawing to a close, and the party was summoned in Convention at Charleston, to 1 designate a successor. David Tod, and ! cargo . Fugh, and other eminent mem- i bere of the Demooratio parly of Ohio were ere as delegates. The haughty and die-! tatoriat slave-power was also there in all arrogance of insolence. It demanded that a new and false interpretation of ihe Constitution should be proclaimed In the name ofthe Demooratio parly, whereby the I most unlimi'ed immunity should be secured j slavery, and all.wbo questioned that in terpretation ehould be taken end held as abolitionists, and therefore outlaws. Mr. ! 'ugh plead with them not to urge such con ditionsthat it would be cerlain death lo the parly in Ohio that no Democrat oould into the field irMcr that flag in Ohio and survive. But all in vain. David Tod as the President of I hat Convention ; and br n ho was told that "unless that platform was adopted, the Southern States would se- tie, replied in language more plain than pious, "secede, and bt d dl"' and taking hit, waved a "good-day" lo Ihe trai tors, and Mr. Pugh oame out also. From that moment there were two distinct Demo-; orallo parties; one for Iho old Union of Wsehington and Franklin the other, fur whalever might be built up upon its ruins. The one adjourned to Baltimore, and nom- ated Stephen A. Doug Us for President; other, (the "rump" Convention, hand nominated Breckinridge, now Ibe fugitive rebel Secretary of War, Suoh was the condition and attitude of ths demooratio party, at the election in No- j vember, I860. It required no Inspiration foretell Ihe result of that election ; and even before the people had gone through the formality of depositing Ibeir ballots,, ths Breckinridge wing of ibe J'-rty were taking sctitti neeeureM to curry out ibyir treasousble deeigne. It will lv .we inhered ths t in Ohio, UL-mocroy w$ uui an unit. Thry were all rindy to egrce nith Mr. Tod and Mr, Pugh, ibal the rienumde of "our Southern brethren" were wholly inadmissible; but then, those who ut up these olaims constituted a majority of tht parly; and to separata from them wis lo abandon the organliilion lo Us fate. In other words tbny must adhere to the Country and let go Iheir party, or adhere to their party and let go tht Country. They could not serve two aeters. The Ohio StaUtman was then In ths hands Messrs. Many penny and Miller. Its fidelity to ths parly generally, wa admitted; hut its adheeiou lo ihe ultimate aims of those who assumed tu give lead to that par ty, was notso clear. And consequently wt nd that In tht first weeks of the year 1801, after Mr. Lincoln's eleotion, and before is inauguration, another demooralio organ, Tht Oritu," was ushered Into being in this city. It was a bold, undisguised and seil- ous exponent of the views of that portion of the demooratio party that had set up the standard of seoeseion, and waged war against ths administration of the Federal Government. With character istio energy the editor maintained bis views, until ths day of his drath, whioh occurred on the eveuiug preoeding Ihe last presidential cltctlon. The paper has si doc passed into fenblcr hands, but con ti noes a languishing and Impotent cxistenoe. Its latest effort being devoted to an attempt to bring dis grace upon the country, and ignominy upon the people of Ohio. To this end it labrioatee calumnies both foul and monstrous, and utters them with the most shameleea aratioos. These oelunia.es are so gross ibat no other paper of auy party, so far as our observation goes, has in any wist given ihem countenance; and Ihe only reason for our noticing Ihem is, not to prevent tholr gaining pressnt currency iu this commun ity, fir of that (hero is no danger, but to nail them lo the counter ae bast oeio. prevent their passing for truth anywhere, or at any time; ae a falee hood uncontradicted may corns to be regarded as fact when the living witnessss of Its baecneiis have passed away. Two or three of tht recent numbers of Tht Orm$ have been devoted to palliating the crimes and cruelties of tho monster HVi, of Andereonvllle notoriety; and Insisting that aim Iter and equal enormities were perpetrated upon rebel prisoners at Camp Chase. This charge Is made In the moet general and sweeping terms. Names, oJ, bs they might afford tht means to disprove the statements. If one half of what is charged bo true, It is enough to consign ths names of tht commandants at Camp Chase to perpetual iofamy; and if the Editor will make good one fourth of what he alleges to be fact against any one of said Commandant we will join him In holding up tht perpetrator to deserved obloquy1 and reproach. But hs will not do it simply booause he cannot; and hs oannot, simply because there is not the ghoet of a shadow J for his statement. For weeke past the pa pers have teemed wllh details given on oath by living witnesses, in the presence of the accused, of cruelties and enormities perpe trated at Andereonville, wllh the evident purpose of reducing the Union prisoners by slarvation and suffering so as perma nently to unfit them for future service, indeed they should not perish in the pro cess. One plead for a teaspoonful of salt, or' Ihe si flings of meal, or a bona, toap- peam hunger, and was answered with ourae. One man aeked Wlrz the prlvilegi to go where he oould breathe fresh airfor whioh Wits drew a revolver and shot him; he died in two hours of the wound. The men were forced to be vacoinaled. idn poisonous virus wafcaed for the tin. pcBe, wbeiuby the ucaWiihel died or suf fered amputation. One man (Thos, C. Al- cock) had 3160 in gold, and $1180 in green becks taken from him by Wits on entering the prison, whioh was never returned. Dr. John E. Bates, rebel Asst. Surgeon at An dersanville, testifies that it was ayaintt eroV erstogive anything to prisoners to help their condition. He ''feels safe In saying that 6 per cenl. of those who died, might have been eared by proper attention. "Dr. J. C. Pilot, rebel Asst. Surgeon, aud ofboer of the Day, made report, that Ihe oorn bread made up without sifting, was wholly unilt for Iho elck, and oflen the inner portion per fectly raw. The meat didn't amount to more than two ounces per day. All the ra tions were (wo ounces of boiled beef and a half a plot of rioe soup por day. Dr. A.

The facts are derived from both rebel and Union sources. he witnesses are veritable, unimpeaohed men. The charges are but too well authenticated.. The enormity is unparalleled In civilised or savage warfare.

Upon these be could rely, and be also had the nromiss of 8.000 Copperheads to assist him. lis said that he found the "Copperheads to be ooly water-snakes. They took to the tall grass'.' At any rale he got ne aid from them, and he said "because they were ths d deet eow-arde on the footstool."

Dut there le one other foot which the new logio of the Slattman ougffl not to have overlooked. Tho section of "our present efficient school law," whioh provldee forsepar- tao sohools for oolored children, was enacted by the la I General Assembly, In whioh the so-called Do moo racy had scarcely a oorpor- el's guard.

II. Barney, who once held be office for' a single term, and who, as Commissioner, published numerous "decisions" and "opinions" upon the echool law. One of tht questions decided by the said Commlseioner Barney, was tho identioal one eubsc quently decided by the Supreme Court, vis : " Are ohildren of less than half African blood entitled, as a matter of legal igbl, lo tho privilege of attending ibe oom- mon schools of the Stato." In giving ail opinion, Mr. Barney says: "To answer the bove queslion, Il ie ncoessary to ascertain lb jucUoitvl oonfiii'uottoii of (be lerm 'whit,' as used in lie Constitution of the Stale.'' He then oltee four esses, and gives an affir maUve aitsver to the quntion. School Laws, p. 101, q. 78. Judges Brlnkerhoof and Bull iff in Ibeir dissent, out of whioh the Statmtan tries lo make taollal, took precisely the same ground as Mr. Barney, drawing the same oo Delusion from the same premises. Here It a fine chance for the Stataman to akt another "therefore," and cry aloud the people, " If you are in favor of throw ng open our puolio schools alike to the re ception of oolored and white children, vote for Mr. Barney and Ihe candidates on the same ticket with him." But Mr. Beroey mads other decisions ' to whioh wt wish to oall tht Siatumaht at tention. In a oerlain sub-die l riot of the Stale in hioh seven oolored ohildren were enumera ted, the negrophobio local directors refused to admit said children to the sohool, and, not oontent with this, wished to take the money sacredly set spart by lbs school law for their Instruction, and use it for the duoation of Iht wtut )outh of tht lub-die- trlct. Mr. Barney was appealed to. He deoldcd that Iht oolored ohildren oould not he deprived of the benefits of Ihe school poor colored vouth" to the common sohool ie necessary to scours him that 1 fret education," he may be admitted. In tht face of snth facte as those, tht degenerate Democratic party of to-day Is trying lo exclude tht oolored children of tho State from all tho advantagee of a free ed ucation. Colored ohildren arc not only driven from tht oommon sohools where, in some Instance, they have attended for years, but tht small portion of the school funds set apart by tht sohool law to secure for (hem a -moiety of private instruction, in oast publlo instruction Is denied, Is sleied upon and oppropriattd la tht tducation owhiU children, in deflanot of law and oommon humanity. Wt know whereof we affirm. There art school d is trio Is, not forty miles from the capital of tho State, where Copperhead malignity has snatched even tht crumbs of a free education from " poor oolored youth." So far at we are oonoerned, we are In favor of separate sohools for oolored ohil dren, but when they are not in sufficient number, to form a separate school, we are not in favor of excluding them from com- mot sohool instruction and the advantages of a free education. When the Stataman has tried Us new logio upon the legislation of the last Gener al Assembly and Mr. Barney's record, we may give It further evidence that wt know what wt art writing about.

Wllh this view, we propose to pause for a seasoo, and take relrospeolive glanoe. And we propose to our demooratio acquaintance of Ohio those them who are capable of laying aside the weight of party prejudice and party biat-r-to aooompany us in a hasty review of the past,and take a reckoning for Ihe course proper lo be pursued lu the future. Our Demooratio friends cannot but re member that tn the year 1B60, their parly was rent In twain, and its members sadly demoralised. Tht corrupt and debauched administration of the Imbecile Buobanau ! was drawing to a close, and the party was summoned in Convention at Charleston, to 1 designate a successor. David Tod, and ! cargo . Fugh, and other eminent mem- i bere of the Demooratio parly of Ohio were ere as delegates. The haughty and die-! tatoriat slave-power was also there in all arrogance of insolence. It demanded that a new and false interpretation of ihe Constitution should be proclaimed In the name ofthe Demooratio parly, whereby the I most unlimi'ed immunity should be secured j slavery, and all.wbo questioned that in terpretation ehould be taken end held as abolitionists, and therefore outlaws. Mr. ! 'ugh plead with them not to urge such con ditionsthat it would be cerlain death lo the parly in Ohio that no Democrat oould into the field irMcr that flag in Ohio and survive. But all in vain. David Tod as the President of I hat Convention ; and br n ho was told that "unless that platform was adopted, the Southern States would se- tie, replied in language more plain than pious, "secede, and bt d dl"' and taking hit, waved a "good-day" lo Ihe trai tors, and Mr. Pugh oame out also. From that moment there were two distinct Demo-; orallo parties; one for Iho old Union of Wsehington and Franklin the other, fur whalever might be built up upon its ruins. The one adjourned to Baltimore, and nom- ated Stephen A. Doug Us for President; other, (the "rump" Convention, hand nominated Breckinridge, now Ibe fugitive rebel Secretary of War, Suoh was the condition and attitude of ths demooratio party, at the election in No- j vember, I860. It required no Inspiration foretell Ihe result of that election ; and even before the people had gone through the formality of depositing Ibeir ballots,, ths Breckinridge wing of ibe J'-rty were taking sctitti neeeureM to curry out ibyir treasousble deeigne. It will lv .we inhered ths t in Ohio, UL-mocroy w$ uui an unit. Thry were all rindy to egrce nith Mr. Tod and Mr, Pugh, ibal the rienumde of "our Southern brethren" were wholly inadmissible; but then, those who ut up these olaims constituted a majority of tht parly; and to separata from them wis lo abandon the organliilion lo Us fate. In other words tbny must adhere to the Country and let go Iheir party, or adhere to their party and let go tht Country. They could not serve two aeters. The Ohio StaUtman was then In ths hands Messrs. Many penny and Miller. Its fidelity to ths parly generally, wa admitted; hut its adheeiou lo ihe ultimate aims of those who assumed tu give lead to that par ty, was notso clear. And consequently wt nd that In tht first weeks of the year 1801, after Mr. Lincoln's eleotion, and before is inauguration, another demooralio organ, Tht Oritu," was ushered Into being in this city. It was a bold, undisguised and seil- ous exponent of the views of that portion of the demooratio party that had set up the standard of seoeseion, and waged war against ths administration of the Federal Government. With character istio energy the editor maintained bis views, until ths day of his drath, whioh occurred on the eveuiug preoeding Ihe last presidential cltctlon. The paper has si doc passed into fenblcr hands, but con ti noes a languishing and Impotent cxistenoe. Its latest effort being devoted to an attempt to bring dis grace upon the country, and ignominy upon the people of Ohio. To this end it labrioatee calumnies both foul and monstrous, and utters them with the most shameleea aratioos. These oelunia.es are so gross ibat no other paper of auy party, so far as our observation goes, has in any wist given ihem countenance; and Ihe only reason for our noticing Ihem is, not to prevent tholr gaining pressnt currency iu this commun ity, fir of that (hero is no danger, but to nail them lo the counter ae bast oeio. prevent their passing for truth anywhere, or at any time; ae a falee hood uncontradicted may corns to be regarded as fact when the living witnessss of Its baecneiis have passed away. Two or three of tht recent numbers of Tht Orm$ have been devoted to palliating the crimes and cruelties of tho monster HVi, of Andereonvllle notoriety; and Insisting that aim Iter and equal enormities were perpetrated upon rebel prisoners at Camp Chase. This charge Is made In the moet general and sweeping terms. Names, oJ, bs they might afford tht means to disprove the statements. If one half of what is charged bo true, It is enough to consign ths names of tht commandants at Camp Chase to perpetual iofamy; and if the Editor will make good one fourth of what he alleges to be fact against any one of said Commandant we will join him In holding up tht perpetrator to deserved obloquy1 and reproach. But hs will not do it simply booause he cannot; and hs oannot, simply because there is not the ghoet of a shadow J for his statement. For weeke past the pa pers have teemed wllh details given on oath by living witnesses, in the presence of the accused, of cruelties and enormities perpe trated at Andereonville, wllh the evident purpose of reducing the Union prisoners by slarvation and suffering so as perma nently to unfit them for future service, indeed they should not perish in the pro cess. One plead for a teaspoonful of salt, or' Ihe si flings of meal, or a bona, toap- peam hunger, and was answered with ourae. One man aeked Wlrz the prlvilegi to go where he oould breathe fresh airfor whioh Wits drew a revolver and shot him; he died in two hours of the wound. The men were forced to be vacoinaled. idn poisonous virus wafcaed for the tin. pcBe, wbeiuby the ucaWiihel died or suf fered amputation. One man (Thos, C. Al- cock) had 3160 in gold, and $1180 in green becks taken from him by Wits on entering the prison, whioh was never returned. Dr. John E. Bates, rebel Asst. Surgeon at An dersanville, testifies that it was ayaintt eroV erstogive anything to prisoners to help their condition. He ''feels safe In saying that 6 per cenl. of those who died, might have been eared by proper attention. "Dr. J. C. Pilot, rebel Asst. Surgeon, aud ofboer of the Day, made report, that Ihe oorn bread made up without sifting, was wholly unilt for Iho elck, and oflen the inner portion per fectly raw. The meat didn't amount to more than two ounces per day. All the ra tions were (wo ounces of boiled beef and a half a plot of rioe soup por day. Dr. A.

The facts are derived from both rebel and Union sources. he witnesses are veritable, unimpeaohed men. The charges are but too well authenticated..
